This project is the brainstorm of web developer Sam Lerner.
What Lerner did was a compilation of watershed data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) into mapping software that allows you to trace the travel of a single raindrop anywhere in the US.
Lerner’s tool makes use of animation created with the Mapbox map and 3D elevation data to follow your raindrop navigate a watershed.
Rainfall here finds its way into the Ahnapee watershed by means of Silver Creek and eventually lands in Lake Michigan.
Give it a try yourself. Just click on the River Runner link here.
